witchblade

i was never really much of a fan of the comic book but, became a huge fan of the storyline through the ill fated two season run on television.

while the first season is this dry run into hell, the second season lightened the dark corners just enough to keep the whole thing from shimmering apart. i mean we've got completely the stuff of comic books, an ancient alient sentient artifact that bonds with the wearer (almost always female) who happens to be a new york city detective searching for the killers of her father, her partner, and her best friend. by the end of the first season the character is painted into such a dark corner that the only way out is through and when i mean through - i mean through. and that's all i'm saying because it's a humdinger of a plot twist.

so, let's just say i'm excited when i find a posting on imdb.com about a potential movie. made for dvd or cable or whatever. i'm excited if for no other reason than the hope that the series will be released in entirety because i missed some spots and this is not a show that goes lightly on viewers who aren't always paying attention.
